Teledyne e2v has won a Vision Systems Design Innovators Bronze Award in recognition of its Emerald CMOS sensor family. The Emerald CMOS sensor family features the world’s smallest true global shutter and significantly improves DSNU by a factor of ten when compared to other CMOS products.

Due to some restrictions I can't tell you details. The CMOSIS has a official 1:50.000 pls. Working in voltage domain. The Emerald has a low noise, it has to be charge domain. If you looked at the vision show presentation it is a FSI sensor. To shield the storage node is the important thing. And if you take the shrinked pixel into account, you can imaging, that 1:10.000 maybe is a number. Or should the goal for them.For ITS applications for example: With QE of 65% and 7k FW, I assume around 25µs exposure for 100k illumination and F1.4. PLS of 1:1000 is useless then. 1:10.000 minimum to prevent ghost effects. We will see in a few month, they announced AS shortly.
